Doing a very DC job while trying not to become a very DC person.
When I'm not at work, I love to cook and eat new things. Finding
the perfect cheap/delicious wine is victory. I have ONE cat (not
"cats," OkCupid sidebar), who I only spoil a little bit.

I moved to a house with a back porch and a grill in April, and
having friends over for good food on a beautiful night has been
amazing.

I do karaoke very rarely, but when I do, I'm a "Total Eclipse of
the Heart" kind of girl. Go big or go home.

Currently, Parks and Rec, New Girl, Gracepoint, and Sherlock.
Previously, Arrested Development (though the Netflix season was
disappointing), Friday Night Lights, and the early seasons of the
Office. The new FX version of Fargo makes me feel a lot of wistful
feelings for my Minnesota upbringing.

Your average hipster millennial indie-type stuff. A shared Spotify
playlist titled "Women of the 90s." I saw Bruce Springsteen in New
Jersey, and that pretty much made my musical life.

In 2013, The Goldfinch lived up to the hype and may make my
all-time favorites list. Otherwise, The Handmaid's Tale and a bunch
of other feminist literature that bring me back to college English
classes.

Drinking with friends, either those in DC or while traveling
(physically or by the power of Al Gore's internet) to see them in
Philly, New York, New Orleans, Minneapolis...we're a far-flung
bunch with a lot of frequent flyer miles.
